Fourth Floor Common Room [late afternoon]

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Noah had found himself some cookies. Much in the way that he'd 'found' candy yesterday, he'd sort of just wandered into a store and then walked out with them, and no one had told the little four year-old not to take stuff from other people. 'Mine' was still a relative concept.

In any case, he'd taken them to one of the big rooms for sharing, because he was good at sharing when it meant getting something from the other person, and since he couldn't make the TV be not boring stuff, he decided he'd have to come up with something else to do:

He began to jump up and down on the couch, shrieking. Being loud was fun, and jumping was the best. So yeah, this was where he'd be for awhile. At least until someone helped him make the TV be fun.

This weekend had put Alex in a pretty decent mood. He actually didn't mind kids (especially when they weren't his) so he found himself wandering along, trying to see if he could find anyone else he knew.

Now, finding the kid with the mohawk could have been good or nothing at all depending on which mohawked kid this was. Only one way to find out.

"You high on something, kid?" he asked from the door. So, he'd immediately gone to drugs. Whatever, not like the kid would know that.

"I'm high up!" Noah giggled, bouncing up high.

"You're really loud," Kennedy informed him from the doorway, arms crossed over her chest and glaring. The jumping looked like fun, but she had to make her disapproval known first.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Yeah yeah come play!" Noah yelled, bouncing and flinging himself down onto the couch to peek at her. "S'fun!"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I can see that," Alex said, wandering in. "You eat too much sugar this morning? Take a hit off Pixie Sticks?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"You got Pixie Sticks?" Noah stopped his bouncing and stared, wide-eyed.

[brat_inslayage]

"Well, duh," Kennedy replied, bouncing into the room. She stopped a couple of feet from the couch and looked at it, because she had to decide first if it was an Acceptable sort of couch to bounce on.

Apparently it was, since she shrugged and climbed up on it a second or two later. "Bet I can bounce higher'n you!"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't have Pixie Sticks," Alex told him, shrugging. "You got a name or should I just called you Twitchy?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Nuh uh!" Noah tried to go higher, squirming as he bounced. It wasn't very effective. "I'ma jump the best!"

Joolushko liked shrieking. She'd shrieked a lot yesterday. Not very much yet today though. But she hadn't melted anything. Probably. That she knew of. So when she heard lots of noise coming from down the hall she had to go investigate it.

When she found a small boy jumping up and down and making all the noise the wee alien girl just couldn't help herself. She let out her own happy shriek and ran for the couch.

"I want to play too!"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Noooooooah," he said seriously, before leaping off the couch and scurrying over to his cookies. "I got cookies, wanna share?" This was how you made friends. And this friend was Big, so he might be able to get him stuff.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Jump jump jump!" Noah instructed, as four year-olds were wont to do, happy to share his strategy for fun.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Noah." That didn't ring a bell but he padded over closer anyway. This kid was entertaining, if anything. "Sure, let's see what kind of cookies you have. I don't have much to share. Gave away my phone yesterday. That had my games on it."

[brat_inslayage]

"Will not!" Kennedy balled both hands up into fists and jumped as hard as she could, wobbling a little. "You wish, I'm gonna jump higher, just watch!"

[she-sheds.livejournal.com]

Joolushko answered with a very high pitched "eeeee" as she climbed up onto the couch to begin jumping as she was told. She was good at following directions! When she wanted to be.

"Like this?" she asked bouncing as high as she could. She followed up with another "eeeeee!" Hopefully everyone's ears would recover from the trauma. Eventually.

Noah looked mildly upset. "I got chocklit chips," he told him. "Will you get me pop? There was a mean babysitter yesterday an' she wouldn't. She'd only get me icky juice or milks."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Will too will too!" he yelled, putting his hands up high. That made him biggerer!

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Yeah yeah!" Noah was little, he could deal with the "eeee"-ing. "High high high!"

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Geez, what a buzzkill she sounds like," Alex said, wandering over to the refrigerator. He'd forgotten how much tiny kids liked to eat. "What the hell made her such a stick in the mud?"

[brat_inslayage]

"That doesn't count!" Kennedy yelled right back, her face screwed up like it was going to help her jump higher. (She thought she was jumping higher than him. She was not exactly right.)

And then she happened to notice the cookies. "COOKIES!" Now who was too loud? "Gimme some!"

Who also didn't grasp the concept of 'please?'

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Maybe!" Noah said, scurrying over to his cookies. "Gotta say pleases!"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"I 'unno," Noah said, hurrying over with his new friend to look in the fridge, too. "She was someone's mommy or somethin'."

[brat_inslayage]

And there went the hands on her hips and the tiny little bitchface as Kennedy stopped jumping. Unreasonable demands like that totally justified her taking a break from couch-jumping, okay?

"Why? Do not."

[she-sheds.livejournal.com]

Good thing he could deal with the "eeees" because there were plenty more to come.

"I like high!" Joolushko said, hair flying as she bounced. There would probably be red hairs all over the couch by the time she was finished but that didn't bother her. "Bouncing and screaming are my favorite. And candy."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"She might be old enough to be someone's mom," he agreed, making room for Noah. "Pick what you want, kid. I'm not gonna stop you from having something that rots your teeth. Life's way too short for that shit."
